Wavetronix's Smartsensor HD in focus

Wavetronix will use Intertraffic Amsterdam 2018 to showcase the SmartSensor HD, a side-fire radar that uses dual radar to create a speed trap resulting in superior per vehicle speed accuracy data for arterial management. By timing how long a vehicle takes to go from one beam to the next, HD is able to replicate a speed trap for every lane on both sides of the highway, replacing at least two loops per lane. The device is also able to determine direction of travel, vital for applications such as reversible

    The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is testing wrong-way vehicle detection devices next to off-ramps along Phoenix-area freeways as part of an ongoing research effort to reduce the risk of wrong-way crashes. Three detectors, manufactured by Tapco have been installed along the northbound Interstate 17 exit to State Route 74, the eastbound Interstate 10 exit at Ray Road and the northbound Loop 101 off-ramp at Thunderbird Road. Two other detection devices, manufactured by Wavetronix, were instal

    OmniAir's Tim McGuckin takes a look at what happens when a tolling authority makes safety its principal operating criterion. The bottom - line effects, he says, are not as onerous as one might think. Replacing an existing 915MHz-based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) system with a new 915MHz system for toll collection is - from a technology standpoint - comparable to trading in your 1999 high-mileage Buick for another 1999 Buick with '0' on the odometer.
